This week we are delighted to welcome Betty Jiang, Managing Director of U.S. Integrateds and E&P Equity Research at Barclays. Betty joined Barclays in 2023 after leading the U.S. ESG Research team at Credit Suisse and has more than 15 years of equity research experience, with prior roles at UBS, Illuminate Capital Group, and Bank of America. We were thrilled to hear Betty's insights on what's top of mind for investors, key themes from earnings, and a preview of Barclays' upcoming 39th Annual Energy-Power Conference, taking place next week from September 2-4 in New York. In our conversation, Betty shares why she finds energy research compelling and reflects on the interesting timing of her career, beginning in 2007 during the shale boom years. She explains how her experience in ESG and sustainability broadened her analytical skills and highlighted the complexity of the energy transition. We discuss the value of cross-sector research collaboration and Betty outlines key takeaways from Q2 earnings, including significant increases in free cash flow, shale resilience, a long-term bullish gas production outlook, and a market focus on efficiency and free cash flow discipline. We explore the intersection of gas and power demand and how factors like regional grid dynamics and AI are shaping the sector, the continuing need for baseload power, reluctance in adopting low-carbon gas, the importance of strategic positioning and capability for companies seeking exposure in power markets, and gas price and production outlook. Betty provides an insider perspective on how she navigates earnings season, noting how AI and research tools are increasingly shaping how research is consumed and analyzed, while emphasizing that AI cannot replace deep analysis essential for understanding nuance, context, and cross-company trends. We discuss the tension between short-term shareholder expectations and long-term strategic initiatives, emphasizing the importance of a clear “North Star” and consistent communication. Betty notes that energy sector investors vary widely, and while the E&P sector is generally out of favor with generalists, sustained capital discipline, cash returns, and demonstrated resilience are attracting renewed interest. We touch on the challenge of differentiation in energy companies and how thoughtful execution and innovative approaches can create competitive advantages, the key themes for Barclays' upcoming conference with over 170 companies currently registered to attend, how efficiency gains and current free cash flow could influence 2026 outlooks, and more. It was a fantastic discussion and we greatly appreciate Betty for sharing her time and insights. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that last week's COBT theme was investor “anticipation” of the Jackson Hole meeting, while this week it's investor “expectations” around NVIDIA's Q2 results/forward guidance. On the broader equity front, the S&P 500 hit another high last week but traded sideways this week ahead of NVIDIA's Q2 results. NVIDIA expectations are pretty bullish, with most expecting a beat-and-raise quarter, and the only real question at this point is whether NVIDIA's forward outlook will be bullish enough to satisfy investors. At a $4.4 trillion market cap, larger than all but three countries' GDP, NVIDIA's AI commentary and forward guidance will be a market mover. On the crude oil market front, WTI price continues to trade sideways (low-mid $60s) amid continued 2H25 global oil surplus concerns that are being somewhat offset by lack of headway in Russian/Ukrainian peace (leading to possible stiff oil sanctions). On the natural gas front, U.S. natural gas price (prompt & 12mo strip) were trading at ~$2.70/MMBtu & ~$3.50/MMBtu (YTD lows). Investor sentiment is still more bullish for natural gas E&Ps, even though prompt natural gas price has significantly underperformed prompt WTI price this year. Mike also highlighted a

Even in death, Jeffrey Epstein remains a spectral presence in global finance. His actions have left banks like JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Barclays scrambling to defend decades of questionable client relations—as regulatory probes, lawsuits, and U.S. Virgin Islands settlements continue to reverberate. The chilling reality: Epstein's systemic influence didn't die with him. His network outlived him, and institutions complicit in his crimes are still facing the consequences—proof that financial wrongdoing can outlive the criminal itself, with reputational and monetary costs that linger, decade after decade.Yet this tangled legacy also ignited some unexpected reform. Regulators have slapped Deutsche Bank with massive fines for ignoring red flags, while JPMorgan's settlements—totaling hundreds of millions—force the bank to face human trafficking implications tied to Epstein. The fallout has inspired proposals for tougher compliance standards, better oversight of “high risk” clients, and enhanced anti-money laundering measures. It's a vivid reminder that institutional inertia can perpetuate abuse, but Epstein's exposure has also made financial gatekeepers more alert—reluctantly, and under duress.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Hiltzik: Making Epstein's banks pay for his crimes - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nouvel épisode de la série les grands boycotts de l'Histoire, où quand des mouvements sociaux et politiques utilisent l'arme économique pour lutter contre l'oppression. De l'Irlande à Israël en passant par l'Inde, du lait en poudre au pétrole et aux bus de Montgomery, le boycott transforme le consommateur en citoyen, un mouvement d'expression et de colère qui continue de faire peur même aux plus puissants. Pour ce quatrième épisode, retour sur le boycott anti-apartheid en Afrique du Sud. En 1994, l'ANC remporte les premières élections démocratiques multiraciales. Nelson Mandela devient le premier président noir du pays. « C'est l'un des moments les plus importants de la vie de notre pays, lance-t-il lors de son discours de victoire. Je me tiens ici devant vous, empli d'une profonde fierté et d'une grande joie : fierté envers les gens ordinaires et humbles de ce pays. Vous avez fait preuve d'une détermination calme et patiente pour reconquérir ce pays qui est le vôtre. Et joie de pouvoir proclamer haut et fort : enfin libres ! » Nelson Mandela salue ainsi des décennies de lutte du peuple sud-africain contre l'apartheid. Une lutte qui a aussi reçu un soutien international de plus en plus important au fil du temps. 1959, la campagne anti-apartheid est lancée à Londres Dès 1959, des exilés sud-africains, soutenus par des syndicats britanniques, des étudiants ou encore des mouvements féministes répondent à l'idée lancée par Albert Luthuli (alors président de l'ANC et futur prix Nobel de la paix) et appellent depuis Londres au boycott des produits d'Afrique du Sud, pour protester contre la ségrégation raciale. Lors d'un discours à l'Université de Stanford, aux États-Unis, des années plus tard, le futur archevêque du Cap, Desmond Tutu (également récompensé du prix Nobel de la paix, en 1984), en résumera la logique. « Pour l'amour de Dieu, ceux qui investissent en Afrique du Sud doivent savoir qu'ils soutiennent et renforcent l'un des systèmes les plus brutaux qu'ait jamais connu le monde. » L'homme d'Église tourne aussi en dérision des arguments avancés par certains dirigeants des pays qui rechignent encore à imposer des sanctions économiques contre Pretoria : « Ils disent "oh, vous savez, les noirs seront les premiers à en souffrir, ils seront les plus durement touchés" », avant de conclure d'une moue entendue, sous les éclats de rire du public, conquis par l'orateur. 1976, le choc de la répression contre les manifestants de Soweto Le boycott anti-apartheid a pris de l'ampleur après la répression de la révolte de Soweto. Le 16 juin 1976, des milliers d'écoliers descendaient dans les rues du township de la banlieue de Johannesburg pour protester contre l'obligation d'apprendre l'afrikaans, sur le point de devenir la langue d'enseignement dans toutes les écoles noires. Une langue perçue comme celle de l'oppresseur. Ce soulèvement, réprimé dans le sang, a été un tournant décisif dans la lutte contre l'apartheid. Et participera aussi à amplifier le boycott anti-apartheid à l'international. À lire aussiAfrique du Sud : 16 juin 1976, la révolte de Soweto Années 1980, le boycott prend de l'ampleur à l'international Dans les années 1980, des dockers australiens et états-uniens refusent de décharger des marchandises venues d'Afrique du Sud. En France, on boycotte les oranges de la marque Outspan, accusée de profiter de l'exploitation des noirs. Plusieurs multinationales finissent par se retirer du pays, comme la banque britannique Barclays, en 1986, et avant elle Kodak, Coca-Cola, IBM ou encore General Motors. À l'intérieur du pays aussi, le boycott est particulièrement suivi. En 1988 et 1989, les Sud-africains noirs cessent par exemple d'acheter dans les magasins de Boksburg, près de Johannesburg, pour protester contre la politique ségrégationniste de la municipalité. Les boutiques sont désertées. L'équipe municipale finit par perdre sa majorité. Le boycott national et international du régime de l'apartheid pèse de plus en plus sur l'économie, et finit par accélérer sa chute. La dernière loi ségrégationniste est abolie en 1991.

There is an engagement crisis in our workplaces currently! Elizabeth “El” Lages, Chief People and Culture Officer at Flexera, shares how strong values, intentional leadership, and accountability fuel high engagement across global teams. Join us as we hear how her approach blends communication, transparency, and people-first practices to keep culture aligned and performance strong even through acquisitions and change. We learn how regular one-on-ones, clear expectations, and open feedback loops empower employees to contribute meaningfully and speak up. El gives us practical insight into building trust, supporting leaders at all levels, and creating real ownership across the organization. We're reminded that culture doesn't live in a handbook, it shows up in every conversation, decision, and recognition. When leaders model values and engage their teams consistently, people feel seen, heard, and motivated to show up with purpose. Highlights 1. Leadership Starts with Listening - Frequent check-ins and open conversations help leaders stay grounded in what their teams really need. 2. Clarity Is the Cornerstone of Accountability - When expectations are clear and consistent, people feel supported—not micromanaged. 3. Culture Lives in Daily Habits - Core values show up in actions, not posters. Recognition and transparency reinforce them. 4. Feedback Builds Trust - Employees want feedback—positive and constructive—because it drives growth and connection. 5. Support Leaders to Show Up Well - Ongoing development and real-time coaching help managers lead with clarity and confidence.

Leaked correspondence between Jes Staley—former CEO of Barclays and long-time JPMorgan executive—and Jeffrey Epstein laid bare more than just casual business exchanges; they revealed a troubling bond rooted in intimacy, trust, and privilege. In one exchange, Staley mused, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” to which Epstein replied, “What character would you like next?” Staley coyly responded, “Beauty and the Beast,” turning their relationship into a grotesque pantomime. More damningly, Staley described Epstein as “family” and spoke of a “profound” connection, while photos of young women were also swapped—all under the guise of everyday correspondence. Far from distancing himself, Staley sustained contact well past Epstein's 2008 conviction, even joining him on his private island in 2009—behavior that defied any claim of a “purely professional” relationship.The fallout was swift—and deserved. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that Staley “recklessly misled” both Barclays and regulators by downplaying the closeness of his ties with Epstein. A £1.8 million fine (later reduced to £1.1 million) and a lifetime ban from senior financial roles followed. The Upper Tribunal upheld the sanctions, emphasizing that Staley knowingly took a calculated risk, hoping the truth would stay buried.

Leaked correspondence between Jes Staley—former CEO of Barclays and long-time JPMorgan executive—and Jeffrey Epstein laid bare more than just casual business exchanges; they revealed a troubling bond rooted in intimacy, trust, and privilege. In one exchange, Staley mused, “That was fun. Say hi to Snow White,” to which Epstein replied, “What character would you like next?” Staley coyly responded, “Beauty and the Beast,” turning their relationship into a grotesque pantomime. More damningly, Staley described Epstein as “family” and spoke of a “profound” connection, while photos of young women were also swapped—all under the guise of everyday correspondence. Far from distancing himself, Staley sustained contact well past Epstein's 2008 conviction, even joining him on his private island in 2009—behavior that defied any claim of a “purely professional” relationship.The fallout was swift—and deserved. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that Staley “recklessly misled” both Barclays and regulators by downplaying the closeness of his ties with Epstein. A £1.8 million fine (later reduced to £1.1 million) and a lifetime ban from senior financial roles followed. The Upper Tribunal upheld the sanctions, emphasizing that Staley knowingly took a calculated risk, hoping the truth would stay buried.

Jes Staley, former CEO of Barclays and senior executive at JPMorgan Chase, is embroiled in multiple lawsuits due to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan Chase has sued Staley, alleging that he concealed Epstein's illicit activities to maintain him as a client, thereby exposing the bank to legal liabilities. The bank seeks to hold Staley personally accountable for any penalties arising from related lawsuits and to recover compensation paid during his tenure. These legal actions stem from claims that Staley was aware of, and possibly participated in, Epstein's sex trafficking operations, with evidence suggesting he exchanged approximately 1,200 emails with Epstein between 2008 and 2012, some containing unexplained terms like "Snow White."The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK has accused Staley of providing misleading information about his relationship with Epstein during their investigation. The FCA intends to ban him from senior financial roles and impose a £1.8 million fine, citing inconsistencies in his statements regarding interactions with Epstein. Staley's close ties to Epstein, including visits to Epstein's private island and correspondence during Epstein's incarceration, have raised serious concerns about his judgment and integrity. These revelations suggest a profound lapse in ethical standards, as Staley's actions may have facilitated or overlooked egregious misconduct, undermining trust in the institutions he led. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1106: Today we're looking at a U.S.-EU trade deal that gives European automakers some relief, Toyota's ambitious product roadmap with EVs and freshened favorites, and why Sam Altman says your ChatGPT chats aren't nearly as private as you think.Show Notes with links:European automakers got a breather as the U.S. and EU struck a long-awaited trade deal, dialing back tariff threats that had been weighing on the industry.The U.S. will apply a 15% tariff on EU goods, easing pressure from the previously targeted 25%.Stocks of German automakers like BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen initially surged on the news.Barclays analysts note the 15% rate is six times higher than pre-Trump levels.The EU may cut its 10% tariff on U.S. imports, benefiting BMW and Mercedes, which export U.S.-built models back to Europe.BMW and VW are also hoping for additional relief tied to U.S. investments.Barclays: “Logging in 15% tariffs as a run-rate will still represent a year-on-year headwind in 2026 versus 2025.”Toyota's next four years will be packed with new EVs, freshened best-sellers, and a surprising push to keep sedans relevant.The Highlander will go all-electric in 2025, following the new Grand Highlander.A three-row electric crossover (bZ5X) will launch from Kentucky late 2025.RAV4 redesign moves up to 2025 with new platform, safety, and infotainment upgrades.Toyota continues investing in sedans — Corolla freshens in 2025, Camry will be redesigned in 2028.A Compact Corolla-based pickup in development is set to rival Ford Maverick, expected in 2027.Akio Toyoda's GR Supra may end production in 2026, though emotions could keep it alive.Millions are sharing deeply personal issues with AI, but a surprising admission from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has lawyers — and plenty of everyday users — buzzing. He admitted last week that ChatGPT conversations don't carry the same confidentiality as talks with a lawyer, doctor, or therapist, raising big questions about privacy in the AI age.Altman: “We should have the same concept of privacy for your conversations with AI that we do with a therapist or whatever — and we haven't figured that out yet.”Legal experts warn that without privilege, user data could be subpoenaed if OpenAI stores it.OpenAI notes that with chat history off — especially on paid plans — data isn't saved or used for training.Enterprise-level ChatGPT offers encryption and compliance, but the free and Plus versions lack those safeguards.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:43 Upcoming ASOTU Edge Webinar with CarRx2:20 US Trade Deal With EU Is 15% Tariffs4:30 Toyota's 4 Year Roadmap7:42 ChatGPT Doesn't Provide Legal ConfidentialJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Jes Staley, the former private banking head at JPMorgan, found himself at the center of explosive litigation tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. JPMorgan sued Staley in 2023, alleging he misled the bank about his relationship with Epstein and helped protect Epstein's status as a high-value client, all while hiding his knowledge of Epstein's predatory behavior. The bank sought to claw back over $80 million in compensation. Staley denied wrongdoing, but the case placed immense pressure on JPMorgan, which simultaneously faced lawsuits from Epstein victims and the U.S. Virgin Islands over its financial ties to the disgraced financier. In the end, JPMorgan reached a confidential settlement with Staley, avoiding a prolonged courtroom spectacle.But the fallout for Staley didn't end there. In the U.K., financial regulators had imposed a lifetime ban and multi-million-pound fine, accusing him of misleading authorities by claiming his relationship with Epstein was purely professional. That claim unraveled when evidence surfaced showing personal emails and inappropriate communications, including messages involving Staley's daughter. A tribunal upheld the regulatory ban, calling his conduct reckless and lacking integrity. Simultaneously, a class-action suit in the U.S. advanced, alleging that both Staley and Barclays misled investors by failing to disclose the depth of his Epstein ties before his appointment as CEO. The legal and reputational consequences continue to pile up for a man once seen as untouchable in elite banking circles.source:JP Morgan sues former executive over claims he hid Jeffrey Epstein's sex abuse | Daily Mail Online

Welcome back to The Keto Vegan, I'm Rachel, your host. Today marks our 100th show—and instead of our usual lighter fare, I'm turning the mic toward something deeply personal and urgent: the crisis in Gaza. I'll guide you through how consumer choices—from hummus to makeup, tech to banking—can support or stop the suffering. Plus, we'll unpack how our government plays into it and what steps you can take. Let's use our voices and wallets for justice. Key Takeaways Consumer Power Is Real – Our spending choices and boycotts send a message. Even one action can spark change. Know Your Labels – Brands like Sabra, SodaStream, Coca‑Cola, McDonald's and Dead Sea skincare may fund or benefit from the occupation. Tech & Finance Matter – Hewlett‑Packard, Barclays, AXA and others are implicated in enabling human rights violations through services or financing. UK's Role – The UK supplies vital F‑35 parts to Israel, facing criticism from Amnesty International and HRW, who argue this risks complicity in war crimes. You Have a Voice – Write your MP, sign petitions, join peaceful protest and support organisations like Amnesty and HRW. Hold Hope Close – Despite the darkness, there's UK humanitarian aid flowing. We can amplify it by visualising and acting for peace. Best Moments (verbatim) “I'm going to talk about food to avoid… Redefine Meat… founded in 2018 by Ness Ziona, which is in Israel…” “PepsiCo acquired SodaStream in 2018… previously manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement. It also has a documented history of racial discrimination against Palestinian workers.” “Human rights organisations have strongly criticised this stance of the UK providing these F‑35 components… Amnesty International explicitly stated… this continued supply places the United Kingdom at risk of complicity in genocide.” “If you write a letter to your MP start with your full name and your address so they can see that you are one of their constituents…” “Focus on love, focus on compassion, focus on kindness, on harmony, on peace… visualising peace in Gaza.” #GazaBoycott #BDS #ConsumerActivism #UKArmTrade #HumanitarianAid #KetoVeganPodcast #EthicalLiving #PeaceInGaza #AmnestyInternational #HumanRightsWatch Valuable Resources Link to the information can be found here: https://theketovegan.life/%23100-boycotting-israel Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheKetoVegan/podcasts Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/821471059206067 Email: rachelghinn@gmail.com

Alors que le groupe culte Oasis poursuit sa tournée de retrouvailles au Royaume-Uni ce week-end à Manchester, les chiffres donnent le tournis. Plus d'un milliard de livres sterling injectées dans l'économie locale et nationale : le phénomène musical pourrait devenir un levier économique pour le pays. Décryptage. Ce week-end, Manchester s'apprête à vivre l'un des événements culturels les plus attendus de l'année : les concerts britanniques de la tournée Oasis Live 25. Liam et Noel Gallagher, enfants du pays, réunissent près de 500 000 spectateurs venus du monde entier. Ce n'est pas seulement un moment musical fort, c'est aussi une aubaine pour l'économie locale. Hôtels complets, chambres multipliées par cinq, bars pleins à craquer et boutiques éphémères prises d'assaut, la ville de Manchester surfe sur l'économie de l'expérience. Les visiteurs ne viennent pas juste pour le concert. Ils prolongent leur séjour, visitent les lieux de légende du groupe, consomment et participent à un tourisme musical florissant. Résultat, des millions de livres dépensées, et autant de recettes fiscales pour la ville. Une tournée à 1,06 milliard de livres Selon une étude de la banque Barclays, les fans d'Oasis ont dépensé en moyenne 766 £ chacun pour les 17 concerts britanniques, soit un total de 1,06 milliard de livres sterling injectées dans l'économie du Royaume-Uni. Et ces dépenses ne se limitent pas aux billets. Elles concernent l'hébergement, la restauration, les transports, les vêtements et les produits dérivés. Ce qui rend cette tournée particulièrement intéressante économiquement, c'est la redistribution locale de la dépense. Près de 58 % de l'argent dépensé reste dans les économies régionales, créant un effet d'entraînement pour l'ensemble du tissu économique, des hôtels aux taxis en passant par les petits commerçants. Le soft power Oasis, de Manchester à l'international Oasis ne se contente pas de ranimer la Britpop. Le groupe contribue à renforcer le soft power britannique. Dans les années 1990 déjà, les Gallagher étaient les visages de la « Cool Britannia », cette vague culturelle qui a redonné une image branchée et dynamique au Royaume-Uni. La tournée actuelle en est un prolongement. Alors que la croissance britannique stagne autour de 1 %, cet élan ponctuel de consommation fait figure de bol d'air économique, à l'image de l'impact de la tournée de Taylor Swift aux États-Unis, qui avait injecté cinq milliards de dollars dans l'économie américaine. Et ce n'est pas fini. Après Manchester, Oasis s'envole pour l'Amérique du Nord, l'Asie et l'Australie. L'impact économique global pourrait donc être encore plus impressionnant. Cette tournée Live 25 pourrait bien être le « Wonderwall » économique dont le Royaume-Uni avait besoin. À lire aussiOasis entame une tournée mondiale empreinte de nostalgie

Just two days after we sat down with Francesca Albanese, the Trump Administration placed her under sanctions.They accuse the UN Special Rapporteur of waging “economic warfare” on the United States. She says the sanctions are “mafia style intimidation techniques” and vows to continue her work to remind states of their obligations to “stop and punish genocide. And those who profit from it.”So why has the US taken such a drastic move? That has a lot to do with a scathing report Albanese just published, titled the “economy of genocide”.In it, she accuses more than 60 corporations of “sustaining and profiting off of Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide.”Some of these companies include Google, Amazon, Hyundai Booking.com and the bank Barclays.This week on the Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with Francesca Albanese to talk about what her explosive report exposes about the world's richest companies, and how the rest of us are implicated in a system that exploits the pain of Palestinians for the sake of profit.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

In this week's episode of The Refresh (July 7, 2025), Kait breaks down the top stories reshaping advertising and media. Apple's massive push into theatrical releases hits a milestone with F1, raising questions about the long game for Apple's entertainment ambitions. Meanwhile, Google launches OfferWall, a monetization tool built for the post-cookie, AI-dominated internet. And on Wall Street, Barclays delivers a sobering forecast for holding companies despite their AI investments. It's a week that highlights how media, monetization, and market pressure are colliding across the ecosystem. 5 Key Highlights:  Apple's F1 film makes a strong debut, grossing $144 million globally in its opening weekend, but with production and marketing costs over $375 million, profitability is still uncertain. Apple's aggressive marketing strategy for F1 leveraged its entire ecosystem—from WWDC tie-ins and haptic trailers to in-phone ticket discounts via Apple Wallet—sparking debate over consumer boundaries.  Google launches OfferWall, a new feature within Google Ad Manager allowing users to unlock premium content through ads, surveys, payments, or newsletter opt-ins, aiming to help publishers recover lost revenue in the AI-search era.  OfferWall signals a move toward an incentivized internet, where users explicitly trade data, time, or small payments for content, though infrastructure and behavioral shifts are still major hurdles. • Barclays downgrades major ad holding companies (IPG, Omnicom, WPP), citing slow growth and AI disruption to traditional business models—but notes their current AI product launches and scale could pay off long-term.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Sabine VdL talks to Lou Smith, a true trailblazer in the world of financial services and insurance. In today's episode, we'll dive into Lou's incredible journey, explore the vision behind Neuron, and discuss the key takeaways from the latest report that insurance providers need to consider.    KEY TAKEAWAYS We all have moments in life where the last thing we want to look at is out credit rating and history, but those things can affect how you access financial services in the future. Lou was part of the team that delivered the first end-to-end mortgage renewal online, started to break down investments and getting it to the hands of the many rather than the few. Everybody says insurance is behind the rest of the financial services industry, and it's a funny statement. It doesn't matter. What I'm seeing in insurance in the last 5-6 years is that this conversation has circled around about what do we do? But in the last 12-18 months I've seen a passion for how do now think about using digital, distribution models, digital, analytics and AI and thinking of all of those things together and deliver distribution models that start to move industry forward. The challenge is always in leadership, culture and change adoption. This is because it's really difficult to step into an unknown and think it's going to be better than what you're doing today. You want to power people with the data and capabilities so they can do what they're brilliant at, which is focusing on the best product and position for their client. Neuron and others enable brokers to do that. You also want to attract a new generation into the brokering sector, but rather than have them focus on the admin of that sector, they should be having great conversations with clients. All the work we're doing enables brokers to do that.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When starting my career I had a real passion for how to make the services we were offering more successful for clients and customers.'‘We care about the customer and making financial data accessible to you through the narratives we use.'‘I'd love to say this was all planned out, we didn't call it anything or know what it looked like, we just started to bring data and technologies together to build ‘workflow' and that's now become cool.'‘We want to be the easiest, most predictable and consistent broker to work with.'   ABOUT THE GUEST Louise (or Lou) Smith is a trailblazer in the financial services and insurance industries, with a career spanning leadership roles across digital transformation, data, product innovation, distribution, technology, and operations.  Her journey has been marked by groundbreaking achievements, including delivering the UK's first steps into digital distribution at Barclays, leading the digital transformation of the Royal Bank of Scotland (including NatWest) during its turnaround to profitability, and becoming the first-ever Chief Digital Officer at Lloyd's of London.  Currently, Louise is at the helm of Neuron, a transformative initiative aimed at redefining the insurance and financial services landscape. Through Neuron, she is driving innovation, collaboration, and growth, focusing on creating a more connected and customer-centric industry.
